[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow... we are 56 and 59 with adopted 5 and 6 year olds..and we are looking into adopting a 2 year old and her infant sibling.. These are all from the foster system. The way we look at it is that we will give them an incredible loving home. The 2 year old has Cystic fibrosis and will probably not live a long life. Our two older are drug exposed babies.. there are issues.. We love helping them and we feel our love is better than some group home or foster care after foster care.. [b]We have my older daughter 27 in line for our 5 and 6 year old if we pass [/b]and our best friend for our new ones.. We are proud to give these children a home. There are issues and believe me.. most people would not take them. And shame on society for that! Most of those on this site that think people are too old or cut it down.. would not take these children into their homes.. because if you are a foster parent or an adoptive parent already.. you would support this.. Prayers to those with huge hearts that are unselfish and will give up their lives for these darlings.. They could be adopted by younger.. but whats to say if it would be better.. the younger generation is questionable these days.. phones in their faces.. etc.. We home school our kids.. the best education out there.. God Bless those over 50 that adopt! You go for it! [/quote] This is the only thing that gives me pause. You shouldn't force your daughter to take responsibility for your choice. While I think it is great that you are adopting these children it is your choice and you should fine other arrangements rather than make it your daughter's job. That's not fair.[/quote] +1[/quote] +2000[/quote]
